RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 vs RollerCoaster Tycoon World
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is perhaps one of the most highly acclaimed RollerCoaster Tycoon game to date! The game now has a deeper strategic aspect in addition to the incredibly addictive work of building the craziest rollercoasters that is physically possible. Similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 builds on the formula that had made the previous games so successful and one-ups all of that with a ton more options, ranging from more attractions to more scenarios, as well as a no-limits Sandbox mode where you can literally build anything you like.As this edition includes both Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs, you can build water slides and a safari with life-like animals. With the Peep Designer, you can even create your own people and their personalities so you can watch their reactions to the coaster you've built when they are riding it or when they are exploring the wild safari you've set-up. Let's not forget about the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3's MixMaster which allows you to design and create incredible pyrotechnics and laser light shows too.
That's not all, the best part about this game is that you are given the opportunity to ride and experience the crazy coasters that you've built in jaw-dropping 3D (through the help of the amazing Coaster Cam)... it almost felt like you're actually there! xMaster.
If you're looking to get into the series, you might want to start with this installment of the game. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is truly as amazing as you think it is after reading all of these. So, if you get the chance, be sure to give the game a try!
RollerCoaster Tycoon World
RollerCoaster Tycoon World is possibly the worst RollerCoaster Tycoon game ever and this is completely ironic because this game comes after the insane success that is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The thing about this game is that the gameplay itself isn't exactly that bad. It simply offers players more of the same stuff - place attractions including amazing prebuilt rollercoasters though you can build coasters yourself as well, set up facilities and paths for your visitors, adjust the pricing and sit back and watch the money roll in. RollerCoaster Tycoon World feels a lot like a massive city building games, SimCity and City: Skylines where "congestion" can occur if you do not lay enough paths for your visitors to walk on, especially for high traffic areas around incredibly popular rides.However, things went to the dogs once your park starts to attract a ton more visitors. For a game that's not exactly graphically-heavy, your frame rate will plummet and everything will move in glitchy slow motion, making the game literally unplayable. For an established franchise like RollerCoaster Tycoon, this poor optimization of the game's performance is outright disappointing. Worst yet, apparently the developers have given up completely on the game, not bothering to even fix the problems that every single player encounter. Of course, that's not including the huge amount of bugs, some of which are game-breaking, that this game is infested with.
Thus, to sum up, if you want to enjoy a fun amusement park tycoon game, you might want to opt for any of the other RollerCoaster Tycoon games except this one.
